There are a few friends that had a difficult time recovering from their service.
There is a difference between my family members that served in WWI and WWII vs Vietnam and the Irag War. Then I had friends involved and my brothers. Some of them were impacted in bad ways.
I have always preferred being alone on Memorial Day. No picnics, etc. My ex Husbands brother Died at Pearl Harbor during the initial attack.
I try to listen to the radio at noon when they honor all those who have died in all the wars.
I am deeply emotionally and prefer to be alone to honor the fallen.
I have been to decades old cemetaries of those who died at the ALamo. As well as the Civil war cemateries in Georgia and Valley Forge. Also the Veterens cemetary in California. Where my folks and my grandfather were buried as all of them were veterns. I have never dishonored any who put their lives at risk for our country.
Enough said.
Awk! Sorry about your PC troubles hope all is well now.
